Allegri challenges Lang to give more for Napoli
Massimiliano Allegri believes Noa Lang can and must give more to Napoli ahead of its trip to Fiorentina in Serie A.
Napoli returned to winning ways last time out with a 1-0 win at Bologna, which ended a three-game losing run across all competitions.
Lang missed Napoli's UEFA Champions League defeat to Arsenal, which came after losses to Como and Inter Milan, because of disciplinary reasons, but he returned as a half-time substitute against Bologna.
The 27-year-old, who was loaned out to Galatasaray for the second half of 2025-2026, is yet to score or assist this season for Napoli.
Allegri revealed Lang could feature against Fiorentina, but he urged the winger to contribute more.
"Lang could play, but I still need to evaluate a few situations," Allegri replied.
"He can and must give more considering his qualities. Over the course of a season, it’s hard to have everyone available, so the important thing is that everyone who is available does well.
"If one is out, the other will step in, but the important thing is to have the right spirit and enthusiasm.
"The game against Bologna was a consequence of what we did against Arsenal, even if we were criticised for that."
After losing its opening three games in Serie A this season, Fiorentina defeated Venezia 4-2 last time out.
Real Madrid loanee Franco Mastantuono scored a hat-trick for Fiorentina in the victory, while it followed it up with a 3-0 win over Pisa in the Coppa Italia midweek.
